General description

A monocarboxylate that catalyzes the electroneutral exchange of an alkali metal for H+ (antiport). Transports monovalent cations across membranes with the following specificities: K+>Rb+>Cs+>>Na+. An antibiotic that kills bacteria by facilitating the diffusion of ions across membranes. Disrupts the membrane potential and stimulates mitochondrial ATPase activity.
Disrupts the membrane potential and stimulates ATPase activity in mitochondria. Transports monovalent cations across membranes with the following specificity: K+>Rb+>Cs+>>Na+.
